How To Properly Measure A Quilt Top

I bet you didn't know the proper way to measure a quilt top is to spread it out on the floor, lay down on the quilt top, and check to make sure there is plenty of extra fabric on all sides.  If you didn't know this little tidbit of information, don't feel bad...I just learned it too, thanks to our 4 year-old grandson!

When my grandson was four this is how he helped me to make sure a quilt is big enough. My grandson is now 9 yrs old. Thanks for the memory. Made me smile this morning!
